I really hate seeing dogs chained up in people's yards. Some of them have almost no room to roam and no water or shade. I don't think any dog should be chained up, to me it is cruel. I feel that if you don't keep it inside then you should have a fenced in yard or at least an area large enough for the dog to run around in, a dog house, food and water and plenty of shade. It breaks my heart to see a chained up animal.

I hate this as well!!! People are heartless! I have a puppy and we put her out on a 30 ft line during the day. But she has food, and water, and shade. She is also alowed to run around the yard all she wants off the line. Its just during the day when the neighbors are out she is tied or inside. She likes to go visit!! We also take her to the beach to play and fetch sticks! Some people just dont care about there dogs. It sickenss me! I wish I could help them all!!

I agree with you. I also don't like it when they keep them in a fenced in yard all day and night. Now our dog will go out on a lead that is 25 feet but she lets us know when she wants out and in. She has shade available and food and water while out there. During the cooler weather she loves to stay out for long periods but during the summer weather it's in and out all day. It gets me irritated when I see dogs left out all day long. Why have a dog then? I want one that is part of the family.

I hate this also.
When I first got Buster (pic attatched) I spent $2000 total on a fence for the yard a dog house and a staked chain thats 50 feet long just for if he's out and the gates open. My Buster loves having the run of the yard so to say. I have a large yard so he runs wild and has a blast doing it. Thanks and enjoy the photo of my buddy BUSTER.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I agree with you tamzcat...but its a reality that some people do that. I wish more people would realize that that chained thing is a cruelty. Dogs and other animals deserved all the loving we could give.

Yeah, I feel that these people sould just not have pets. Thats so cruel. First they leave their dogs out in the open and on top of that chained with no proper care. These dogs dont deserve this. They are such sweet animals and they give so much love to us. Would they do this to their kids? Then why dogs???

I think it's worse when people decide to go grocery shopping around in my neighborhood taking their dogs with them and chain them up on the parking meter poles and leaving them while they go into the store to shop...then they wonder why they come out and the dog is no longer there as someone stole the dog--can't tell you how many times that's happened in my area
